The drawing machine is designed to operate at speeds up to 45m/s (9,000fpm). The maximum inlet diameter for soft copper wire is 8mm (5/16") and the finish diameter range is from 1.29–4.12mm (16–6 AWG). The double-twist stranding machine DSI631 is used for a wide conductor cross-section range and a maximum strand diameter of 8mm. The lay length can be freely adjusted from 8 to 180mm; the lay length consistency is less than ±0.5% of the effective lay length. The DSI631 and the larger version DSI1001 are designed to combine insulated conductors to pairs or quads and to strand conductor pairs into LAN cables and other special cables, either with or without back twist.

The high speed braiding machines of the BMV series designed for 12, 16 or 24 bobbins can process bare or plated copper wire, aluminium wire and stainless steel wire with a single-wire diameter of 0.05 to 0.3mm (40–28 AWG) and artificial yarn and fibres. Applications include the manufacture of data, control and coaxial cables, hollow braids for battery cables, stranded braids, and mechanical reinforcements for pressure hoses and medical catheters. The DSA ‘Niehoff rewinding machines System Hacoba’ are automatic high- speed machines, which spool wires from single and multiwire spools onto braiding bobbins. At the show the DSA will operate inline with an EDP801, a newly redesigned multiwire pintle type payoff for tension control during accelerations and decelerations. It is available for operation with high-speed double twist bunchers, and can be built with a lift table to accommodate spools with smaller flange sizes.

PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl Booth: Italian pavilion

PS automatic lines can work as either a slave to the extruder (on line) or as an autonomous final station. A selector allows the choice of either the first or the second system. PS automatic coiling lines are equipped with strapping machines, thermo-shrinking tunnels, boxing machines, stackers and palletisers. Model PS 350/8 is suitable for flexible cables from 1.5mm up to 8mm diameter or for solid cables from 1.5mm up to 6mm diameter with a production of five coils, 100 metres long, per minute. It can also wind flat cables. PS 470/16 is suitable for flexible cables from 5mm to 16mm diameter or for solid cables from 5mm to 10mm
